NOVA STEEL INC.

Move bundles of steel around and stage the warehouse and load trucks. Ive learned alot about steel and the way they run the warehouse. Management is a joke, they dont want to pay for a real supervisor so they let whoever just works the most hours be in charge, HR will lie about everything to get you started and in their because employees are dropping like flies and they need the people. Work culture is super toxic, everybody is so sick of being there that they continuously take the frustration out on each other and are incredibly disrespectful. Hardest part of the job is honestly just dealing with the co workers, I was thrilled to be there and put in the hours and the work to try and get the place back up to speed and within my first week it was gone.Beware ; dont you dare try and sort it out like an adult, they will all group up and  get their story straight if you make a complaint and work it against you. There is no need to worry though, they will keep you and  make you do all the work while they vape and sit on their phones because if you left then they would have to do it.There is also little regard for safety, if you take too long to make sure the straps are on the load properly and dont rush through it that causes problems as well as wanting to double check the calculations to make sure the crane can safely lift the load. It really is a shame to me because i had wanted a career here. The most enjoyable part of the Job was the work. 

This place is fairly new, but probably won't last with the way management runs it. There is so little Communication that half the people don't know what is going on. In 4 months I had 2 brief but non productive conversations with my manger, who never took the time to get to know me or make me feel as part of the team. 
1 day they had a meeting apparently for all/some employees. I was not invited or told about it,  and everyone just disappeared. I founnd out afterwards, that third shift was eliminated and people laid off. Since I was hired to work third shift I would think I would have been part of that meeting. 
Some of the people there have the ear of high ups (CEO/President) and will throw you under the bus to make themselves look good. What I thought was a good place to work quickly became a hostile environment and lack of trust

What is the best part of working at the company?
The workers, most of them were fun helpful people.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management. They could not manage anything. They had the QA department in every weekend even though it was not needed.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was cold during the winter and hot during the summer. No ventilation over the welder so they had to open the vent to get the smoke out and there would go most of the heat during the winter. The culture was toxic. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come in early and straighten up the area since the night crews were not held responsible. Then start my duties which included things that I was not responsible for.

They will tell you they're expanding while the rest of the steel industry is slowing down, get you to leave a job you've had for 2 years, then give you "layoff" papers 4 weeks after you start, followed by telling you turn in your key card and uniforms. So you're basically blindsided and completely screwed with no explanation other than "hopefully we can bring you back at some point" 

Good place to work. Environment is a bit harsh from the weather. It has potential, and seems to be expanding. It is a close environment with a lot of potential. There is growth with some of the systems being implemented. Vacation time is pretty good. Management is ok. The most enjoyable part of the job is making a true difference, and the ability to see the difference take affect. The hardest part of the job is implementing new ideas and getting everyone onboard. A bit of miscommunication which is to be expected with a new and growing company.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Team oriented atmosphere. People will help others and come together to do a good job for the customer.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Machine issues and learning new machines as a floater.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's indoors, can get really hot during the summer time. It can be hazardous if your unaware and aren't paying attention to safety hazards

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Go in, go to a meeting, determine my work station, set up and get going

I am glad to have gotten the opportunity to grow in my knowledge at this work place. I am not happy with management or the HR woman by no means. They are not a family oriented place and does not allow to take time unless using vacation or whatever. When giving a doctor's note they don't allow time off and they will tell you that you can only take so much time off. 

the people that work there have bad attitudes they yell at others for no reason they do not help you in anyway they are always looking for a fight with the new help no consideration for others the mill employers are the worst group you can ask for  in a work force there is no team players  they lack work ethics skills  always a one sided conversation  .in other words if you like being a doormat ,or pushover even their pet you could prolyl work their.   

What is the best part of working at the company?
Employees but employers not so good bad management and broken promises the work not gsrd

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management don’t listen to employees 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Diversity is good the people good and loving 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It’s ok just management not good at all

Truthfully, I think this company could be a lot better with better communication & management skills. Management can be condescending and difficult to approach, most times hardly communicating with employees on the floor. At times feels like your work/life ratio is not valued and little appreciation is shown for going the extra mile. Non-union & no warning system, you will be terminated on your first offense if you make a mistake. Definitely room for improvement.
